Strange Days
Jan. 17th, 2013 12:33 pmI haven't posted since early November. I missed my 10 year LJ-versary, Nov 30th. The holidays were kind of dull and sad for me.
Luke started grad school last week. So far, it seems to be going good. His schedule means that he won't be going to Wiscon this year. I'll be going by myself. That'll be strange. It'll force me out of my comfort zone a bit, and make me be more proactive in seeking people for dinner gatherings and the like. I always did that before, but having my husband there meant never eating or hanging out alone if we couldn't find anybody else.
I'll probably still do the LJ party, but there won't be a photo booth this year, unless someone new decides they want to take the whole thing on.
Luke and I won't be going to Potlatch. Last year we didn't buy a membership, but we showed up on Saturday night, dragged a few people off for dinner, then hung around in consuite for a couple hours. This year, it conflicts with a potluck held for volunteers of North Beach Park.
Everyone is talking about what they're reading. Me, I mostly read biographies. Started with Michael Palin's diaries a couple years ago, and moved on to various personalities that I like, comedians for the most part. Steve Martin's "Born Standing Up" was especially good. Also read biographies of (and/or by) Harpo Marx, Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Craig Ferguson, Tracy Morgan, Richard Hammond, Jacques Cousteau, and Howie Mandel. Also read "Live From New York", a 600 page history of Saturday Night Live, told by the people who wrote, starred, hosted, and worked behind the scenes. And "We Killed", about the rise of women in American comedy. Very interesting.
